And another makes four in the family

But without further delay, we are very proud to introduce baby girl Marin Hunter Lowell born on Oct. 3. She weighed in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces and was 20 inches long.

She is a beauty and a blessing in all ways.

I don't have time at the moment to share the birth story, but it will be forthcoming. I promise it is just as exciting and surprising as Elias' birth, and it's fair to say, it was certainly nothing like we expected.

In the meantime, here are some photos of the last few weeks. I apologize for the quality; I've had only my iPhone handy.

My walk on the False Outer Point Trail the afternoon of Oct. 1. It was beautiful. That night at 2 a.m., I went into labor.

About Me

We live in the most beautiful place on earth: Southeast Alaska. Here the outdoors is not far from our doorstep and, frankly, that's just the way we like it. Black bears wander through front yards, bald eagles cackle in the trees and neighbors share fresh king salmon and crab with one another — often because their freezers are already full.
Life blessed us with an amazing son, who is now three. Another member of the family is due in September.
I've always been a runner at heart, and exploring the trails that extend above Juneau is full of perpetual discovery. I'm also a writer, photographer, mom and avid Alaskan outdoors woman. In other words, I don't mind getting my hands dirty.
I'm interested in everything about the wild world. Whether it's alpine lakes or a saguaro desert, I want to see it.
